Abstract

Maps are central to our understanding of landscapes. When this Editorship began to revise the journal's Aims and Scope for presentation in a forthcoming editorial, we sought ways in which we could identify the core knowledge base and boundaries, however permeable, of what the journal community considers to be Landscape and Urban Planning (LAND). Strategically, we also sought to better understand our niche among other knowledge communities and identify research themes and disciplines toward which the journal might more effectively communicate.
